Can a person with a criminal record apply for immigration?

1, according to different countries of immigration, the policies are different. If the applicant is listed as inadmissible because of criminal acts and records, and can't prove it through other channels at the same time, you can consider applying directly to the immigration bureau or the embassy or consulate for visa exemption.

2. An application for exemption from the non-entry category should only be made when the applicant is officially notified that it is classified as a non-entry category. Of course, if the applicant knows that he is not allowed to enter China when submitting an application for an immigrant visa or an application for adjustment of status in China, he can also apply for visa exemption at the same time.
